Yes. OOB. I did print some decals for the vents on the lower sides of the cowling AND I don’t know yet if the kit decals will work. Still need to scan them.

Thank you, Mike.
It is rearing its age related issues AND trying to mask off the stripes on this thing.

This POS is done. It looks like I didn't care after a point, and that is correct. There was just something about it. Parts of it were very well done and others, well....not so much. Anyway, this and the Sooter give me my two completions. And, Postimg isn't cooperating at the time of this post.

Well despite the issues you had, it came out looking really nice Lyle :shoutout: :shoutout: :shoutout: Although the kit does sound a bit like their P-40 that I tried to build. What were the main issues you had with it - I only ask as I have one in the stash... If I can find it under the flash... :bag:
